About smart password entry

If you use advanced authentication and
your BlackBerry® smartphone password or smart card password is
numeric, you might be able to use smart password entry in some
password fields. When smart password entry is turned on, your
smartphone is designed to remember the format of a password that you type in a password field. When you type
the password again, your
smartphone applies a smart
password filter to the password field. If the password is numeric, a 123
indicator appears beside the password field and you do not
have to press the Alt key to type numbers.
If the password is
alphanumeric, an ABC indicator appears beside the password field.

To use smart password entry, advanced authentication must be turned on and the correct smart card driver and smart card reader must be installed on your smartphone.
